“Instrumental in helping us plan to launch ERGs, facilitating conversations with ERGs and guiding us through very difficult moments and conversations along the way.” I am writing to provide my strong recommendation of Venn Diagram Partners for your Employee Resource Groups Consulting.

In the wake of George Floyd, my company committed to rethinking our approach to DEI. A big part of our strategy involved developing ERGs from the ground up. Demetriouse Russell was instrumental in helping us plan to launch ERGs, facilitating conversations with ERGs and guiding us through very difficult moments and conversations along the way.

Employees need ERGs for a variety of reasons, and employers need a partner to guide their approach and strategies for their ERGs, so they approach ERGs with the empathy and tactfulness they require. We are grateful for Demetriouse’s experience and personal.

“Impressed me about Demetriouse is the care that he took getting to know each of us, our backgrounds, our strengths, our blind spots, and our areas for growth. “ As a DEI coach for Trimble’s Leadership Team, what immediately impressed me about Demetriouse is the care that he took getting to know each of us, our backgrounds, our strengths, our blind spots and our areas for growth.

Building on this foundation he was able to tailor content and facilitate discussions that built awareness and generated actionable areas for growth and improvement.

While the journey remains unending, I believe that I’m a better manager, a better person, and a better member of the community because of the caring, skill, and expertise that Demetriouse brings to his DEI coaching practice.

I want to express gratitude on behalf of 3q Digital to Venn Diagram Partners for clarifying our "why" behind the motivation for our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives that have positively impacted both our business and employee community outcomes. ​

Demetriouse's leadership and insights have focused and directed our path to move forward with clear goals and defined metrics. His suggestions and contributions were constructive, but, most significantly, he has facilitated our realization that there is no finish to creating an inclusive culture for all. We are grateful for his effort and contributions. We look forward to his further input as we refine and evolve to make #q Digital a safe and welcoming place to work.
